1/4 x 1/8 in Galvanised Hexagon Reducing Nipple | LN0806
Available
This AAP galvanised malleable iron hexagon reducing nipple is a hot dip galvanised fitting with BSP threads. It is supplied in 28 sizes, 1/4 x 1/8 in (8 x 6 mm) to 4 x 3 in (100 x 80 mm).
A hexagon reducing nipple has a male thread at each end, in two different sizes, and a hexagon in the middle for a spanner. It joins two female threaded fittings of different sizes. Sizes are listed as the larger thread first, then the smaller.
AAP states that these fittings are made to EN 10242:1994 (manufacturer-stated), in blackheart malleable cast iron and delivered hot dip galvanised (manufacturer-stated). AAP states that each fitting is pressure tested to EN 10242 at a minimum hydrostatic pressure of 2068 kPa (equivalent to a minimum pneumatic pressure of 500 kPa) without leakage (manufacturer-stated). AAP recommends a maximum working pressure of 1379 kPa for water and 1034 kPa for gas, steam and compressed air (manufacturer-stated). Working pressures may also be limited by pressure piping codes or industry regulations, so confirm the pressure and temperature for your application with AIMS before you order.

A is the overall length, as lettered on the AAP drawing, in millimetres. Sizes are larger first, then smaller. Weights are approximate, in kilograms per piece.
Selecting the right option
Choose the size to match your pipework. These fittings are BSP threaded, so check that your pipe or fitting is BSP and not NPT before you order. Sizes are listed as the larger thread first, then the smaller.
